Kipling prices

[craftology]

Just a quick heads-up, the Reth is on-screen right now at the oh so vastly discounted price of 47£ + P&P. I just bought the tangerine version off amazon.co.uk for 29.50£, no P&P, and a while ago got the organic green for 22£. (and I did go for the pink print Fairfax OTO, I will need to do some clever hiding from OH here!)

Oh well, it's the first time all year I even watched QVC, my resolution was holding strong so I'm not going to beat myself up too much about it.

Buggeration - just checked on Amazon and the two colours I like are £60 and more... much dearer than QVC!

I know, it's really a gamble - I like the new deep sky blue and that was more expensive. I ordered a bag from Kipling in their sale and that really was a bargain but it looks like it got lost in the post, 3 weeks and still no word, so I'm not sure I'm doing that again.

 

[BusyMum]

that's a shame..hope it turns up...have you contacted them..?

I think it's the deep sky blue I like, and the blue violet, and the black & white print one wasn't even there. Ne'mind, the longer I procrastinate the less likely I am to splurge - I'm not in the same league with those people who have them in the hundreds (and don't intend to be!) but I do already have two Reths, a Defea, a Fairfax, a Machida and an Adley..!

Just got an email back this morning to say they're chasing it up with the courier so we'll see. I do have a couple now (about 6?), most bought when I could get them cheap and I do like them but tbh I feel I've been suckered into the whole thing...

 

[BusyMum]

Hope they sort that missing one out for you. We're about the same then, with half a dozen, give or take - I dunno how I got into them as I never liked them that much, specially at the price, but I found some in a little local shop (very limited range) and bought my first Reth as I liked them better in the flesh, so to speak, and it went from there!

Overpriced for what is a nylon bag!!

I do like Kipling bags for travelling, as they are light-weight and good for organisation. I find they wash really well too but they probably are over-priced for what thay are. Got a lovely wallet from Kipling in their sale for £15 and free p & p, which I am really pleased with.

ah well, each to her own Lilo, perhaps you spend your dosh on something I'd consider a waste..:cheeky::tongue:

I have to say I do like my kipling bags.They suit my needs so well - and I love all the colours.I also don't want a leather bag.

I couldn't possibly say how many I've ought over the years - but I do sell them on ebay,when I want a new one - and I find they hold their prices well.

I've got about 10 in my current collection of old faves that I just wouldn't sell and also new purchases.I've ordered from QVC,the kipling website,ebay and I've bought from the outlet shop in Portsmouth.

I always thought that too until I bought a small gold one that was a TSV when I was a new QVC customer about 7 years ago ..now I have 7 and the leather and faux`s are languishing in the top cupboard of the wardrobe!! Each to their own lol

I'd like them to bring back the Sugar bag they did a few years ago. It's the perfect size for me and everything else just seems too small or way to big.

 

[rainbowdottie]

I'd like them to bring back the verbier and large rose hobo :clapping:

There were lots of Kipling bags in TK Maxx last night. I got a large shoulder bag with detachable strap in the Peter Pilotto galaxy print for £24.99, RRP was about £80 I think!

thanks for that Beketaten...I popped into Nottm today and headed for T K Maxx - alas, only five or six Kiplings in the place but I did get a Reth for £19.99 - at that price I wasn't going to leave it sitting there even tho I have two already! I would have liked another Fairfax for preference but never mind - the other bags available were too small for me, I need something with organisation!
